Added 2025-02-19 08:23:41 +0000 UTCA big thank you to everyone who participated in this month's Stray Cat Strut Fanart Contest! The creativity and talent on display is incredible, and it’s always exciting to see how different artists bring their own interpretations of the world to life!

SCS Fanfic Art
PsyCo Famely, by Lividia!
This one is neat, we’ve got like... a heap of references and characters from a bunch of the best fanfic in our community all in one place! Zoom in, there’s a lot of details to catch!

AI Art Category
Black Gem, by Alia
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/99549/fata-morgana-reflections-a-scs-fanfiction
Okay, so, uh, technically this one might not have been made by an AI, but it IS art of an AI? I laughed, and decided to give it the win. For reference, this art is of this quote by Myalis “Technically, I’m more of a hyper-dense carbon wafer. But I am somewhat gem-like, so I’ll accept the compliment with the grace it was given.”
And that’s all! Thank you to everyone who participated! And a special shout to the WackyWombat who helped keep things organized!

I love this art and how it illuminates the SCS story! But "Black Gem" also hits me on levels outside the SCS context. It does different things in my brain. For example, I initially thought, "I could do that!", immediately followed by, "Not." The simplicity combined with the premise, perhaps doused with a bit of snark, got me smiling! Nicely done. Also, the position of the black dot reminds me of the location of the driver on a distributed mode loudspeaker (very inexpensive yet high quality thin flat speaker), several of which I'll be building this year.
